DRL Switchbacks
After numerous variations and products, finally got these sons of b****es how I want them (for the most part). I wanted them to be sequential but I’m happy with them like this.
The old strips I had were horrible, I hated the yellowish color of the white, the blinkers didn’t work properly, and the LED’s in the strip kept going out. So I had to kind of make these myself.
With the previous attempts at this, I had removed the blinker housings and backed the opening with the same mesh of the grille and lower grille. Cut out holes for the LED tracks and slid them through the holes and created brackets in the back that attach to existing bumper screws.
Used LED tracks with a frosted lens, with Vvivid tint on top. I like the look of the lights better without the tint but don’t like the white lens when off so the tint had to stay.
Used some COB LED strips from eBay, one white and one amber strip in each track, and then used a switchback module from Oznium to control them.

The white is controlled by a relay connected to the parking brake so when it’s up, the lights are off, and then on when the parking brake is put down.
